Spencer’s

09 Apr

This Tickle is entitled, “Spencer’s.”  Spencer’s is a great place when you wanna buy someone a gift that they won’t use. As a gift, it’s more thoughtful than something from the 99 cent store, but just as useless. Yet, I still like checking out their stupid crap. I bought my first girlie poster from Spencer’s. She was awesome. I bet when Spencer was a kid all of the neighborhood kids wanted to play at his house. He probably had the kind of parents that let him do whatever he wanted. “But mom, he’s got a whoopie cushion bed!” I wish I had a whoopie cushion bed. That way when I go to sleep, my wife would think I was just tossing and turning.

    Spencer’s! So true…the store of uselessness. I still have a blacklight I bought from there when I was in college.

      Spencer’s useless? How is a “who farted” keychain useless? You can keep your keys on it.
      Don’t even get me started on how a deck of cards with half naked women on it is essential to an 18 year old boy 15 years ago.

    Spencer’s is where I got glow in the dark stars. Woo hoo!

      Okay…I have to admit, the stars are kinda cool. When I was a teenager I painted over the stars on my ceiling. And every time I go back home to visit and turn the lights off — I can still see a little twinkle. That’s my youth dying out.

    spencers is a possibly a derivative the late 1980′s, and the increase of divorces in america…yes the parents that bought their kids anything they wanted. why was it always filled with black and glow-in-the-dark objects.? and was their nitche young teens coping with puberty?
